Gillian STOKES Obituary

STOKES, Gillian Briar:
Our beautiful and brave Gillian left us on June 15, 2023, at the age of 72, after living with cancer for 7 years. A loving and loved wife and mother to Roger, Melissa and Olivia. The best ever GG to Hugo, Freddie, Charlotte and Beatrix. A non-meddling mother-in-law and great friend to Dave and Simon.
We will miss her so much.
Gill hated a fuss and in accordance with her wishes there'll be no formal service. Heartfelt thanks to Richard and his team at Canopy Cancer Care, for giving us extra years with Gill and many happy memories to look back on. Our immense gratitude to Dr Peter Cunningham for looking after Gill in her final days. You are welcome to leave a message in memory of Gill by going to https://share.funeral.stream/a1h5G
